Verse
Judges - ch 5 v 21 - 31
- The river Kishon took them violently away, stopping their flight, the river Kishon. Give praise, O my soul, to the strength of the Lord!
- Then loudly the feet of the horses were sounding with the stamping, the stamping of their war-horses.
- A curse, a curse on Meroz! said the angel of the Lord. A bitter curse on her townspeople! Because they came not to the help of the Lord, to the help of the Lord among the strong ones.
- Blessings be on Jael, more than on all women! Blessings greater than on any in the tents!
- His request was for water, she gave him milk; she put butter before him on a fair plate.
- She put out her hand to the tent-pin, and her right hand to the workman's hammer; and she gave Sisera a blow, crushing his head, wounding and driving through his brow.
- Bent at her feet he went down, he was stretched out; bent at her feet he went down; where he was bent down, there he went down in death.
- Looking out from the window she gave a cry, the mother of Sisera was crying out through the window, Why is his carriage so long in coming? When will the noise of his wheels be sounding?
- Her wise women gave answer to her, yes, she made answer again to herself,
- Are they not getting, are they not parting the goods among them: a young girl or two to every man; and to Sisera robes of coloured needlework, worked in fair colours on this side and on that, for the neck of the queen?
- So may destruction come on all your haters, O Lord; but let your lovers be like the sun going out in his strength. And for forty years the land had peace.
